Note: spell damage modifiers from Secondary Arms are implemented but not yet understood.

Note 2: these tests were conducted against NPC monsters which have 0 DEF and presumably 0 INT. It is presently unknown how Hero DEF or INT effect spell damage. However, it is known that roughly equal heroes usually do only 1/3 of the expected damage from scrolls.

Since scrolls are one use only, they should not be used as a primary weapon. Instead, they should be used in emergencies.

Scrollbombing. Get your highest int hero and put 7 stacks of 1 scout on them. Load them up with scrolls. Attack very high lvl hero and do some damage etc. Good to help discourage farming or higher fame players from attacking you. If done multiple times, can annoy the piss out of other players. Good strat is to attack the same hero 5 times in a row on the worldmap to inflict some somewhat serious losses if done properly. Can be a very expensive tactic though...
